This morning I was just thinking about PDC and wondering if there was a DVB
implementation (Missed a few minutes of several programmes lately). I was
going to ask about it myself! ;)
Myth support for such a flag would be very near the top of my wishlist. I
would love to do this myself but I'm confident that it is beyond my current
understanding of Myth and DVB. Beside which I'm already working on two
patches for myth which are keeping me occupied.
